I don't actually want to do this, but after expanding the XFS
partition size (using xfs_growfs ) of a Logical Volume and looking
for the "BACKDOWN" information, I couldn't find a simple explanation
for shrink the partition back down.

Is this possible with XFS, or does one need to use XFS Dump to
migrate the data to another partition?
